Devoted to impossible problems posed by real managers. These problems should make seasoned Excel veterans cringe. The title is a phrase coined by a great fellow named Eric from McKinsey & Company. With a wry sense of humor, Eric would greet all nearly-impossible requests with, "sure, and then can you total that diagonally for me?" Spreadsheet pros will chuckle as they recognize these simple sounding problems as ones without an easy solution.
